EAT YOUR VITAMINS: Vitamin B2, or riboflavin, plays a major role in energy production, cell development, and fat metabolism. Populations most at risk of deficiency include vegans and vegetarian athletes, as well as pregnant or lactating mothers and their infants.

To ensure adequate intake, get your riboflavin from Real Food. Potent sources include beef liver, yogurt, milk, beef tenderloin, eggs, clam, cheese, and chicken breast.

Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (#PMOS) is the new name for #PCOS - better defining the nature of the disease. #NWHW @womenshealth

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

Experts reach consensus to rename polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), better reflecting the condition’s full health impacts.
